That's all part of the fun for DIY projects like this. Paying someone else to handle it for you isn't really part of the hacker ethos.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoYes, but not if your aim is "to run a blog". I set up DO to host a half dozen websites with a standard LAMP, NginX reverse proxy, and such. Then set up email with horde, spam filtering etc., then realised that managing all of that without breaking anything was going to be a pain in the arse. The web side is relatively straight forward, the email side was really fragile. So I switched to a shared hosting account for about the same monetary cost. Generally I enjoy the admin, but I'd be needing a duplicate test system to trial optimisations; a part-time hobby is then looking like a full-time job.
